1. Take my own cloth bags when i go shopping.
2. Say "no" to plastic bags at the checkout if i only buying a few things.
3. Keep a stash of old plastic bags or cloth bags, a box or even a laundry basket in the car for unexpected purchases.
4. If i do end up with plastic bags, try to reuse them as bin liners or for anything else useful i can think of
Last week, we use clothes bags instead of plastic bags for shopping and took some photographs.
My mom and i also find some things that is able to be recycled in our garbage. And we recycled all of things we found, then we could notice that our amount of garbage are smaller than week 1.
Update action plan
Next week, i will look through my garbage and see what are the things i haven't and have recycled.
For food scraps, i will take it to school to be processed in the Bokashi compost system
